Fight Night Champion introduces players to an entirely new way to experience the drama of boxing.

Electronic Arts announced today that the latest iteration of the Fight Night franchise, entitled Fight Night Champion, is in delevopment.

Fight Night Champion introduces players to an entirely new way to experience the drama, emotion, excitement and tragedy of boxing.

Featuring a refined physics-based animation system that incorporates improved locomotion, punching and stamina mechanics, Fight Night Champion will enable users to move, attack and dodge with the speed and power of the best champions in the world of boxing.

In addition, an all-new control scheme, dubbed Full Spectrum Punch Control, will deliver the most realistic punching system ever seen in a simulation fighting game, while still delivering an accessible experience that will make Fight Night Champion the most user-friendly title in the franchise's history.

Fight Night Champion will set a new standard for visual presentation with the most realistic boxer-likeness to date, fluid animations and damage that truly conveys the brutality of the sport.

Fight Night Champion will be available for the Xbox 360 and PS3 and ships to retailers in 2011.
